Capítulo 1157: Chapter 1159: What If I’m Capable?
Chu Ge was sowhat surprised and shocked.
He hadn’t expected Yuwen Kangli to have such a story behind him.
“You used your son’s heart for Yuwen Kangli?” Chu Ge was still a bit confused.
The housekeeper seed to understand what was puzzling Chu Ge’s mind, he gently nodded, then began to explain: “Mr. Chu, you misunderstood. Actually, my son was severely injured at the ti, and doctors were at a loss while Yuwen Kangli’s heart disease relapsed. Faced with no solution, the Old Master begged , and that’s why I agreed.”
The housekeeper sighed inwardly once more. Were it not for the Old Master personally pleading, how could he bear to let his precious son lose any part of his body?
Chu Ge nodded in sudden realization.
The housekeeper smiled bitterly, “If only I had known Mr. Chu back then, maybe my son wouldn’t have died.”
Chu Ge lifted a hand to pat the housekeeper’s shoulder, comforting him: “The dead can’t co back to life, but take solace in knowing your son’s heart is alive within Yuwen Kangli. At least it saved a life, right?”
The housekeeper lifted his gaze and looked deeply at Chu Ge, unable to express his feelings, but thinking of Yuwen Kangli still being in prison, a sense of heaviness weighed on him.
Perhaps it was because the housekeeper was feeling particularly reflective today, or for so other reason, he suddenly opened up, eager to chat with Chu Ge.
Seeing the housekeeper’s intent to talk more, Chu Ge led him to a pavilion in the courtyard.
The night was deep, the cold wind howled, yet it couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the housekeeper and Chu Ge as they conversed.
The housekeeper leaned a hand on the stone table, sighed slightly, and said: “When I agreed for my son’s heart to be transferred to the Eldest Young Master’s body, I secretly vowed to treat him as my own son. That’s why I always held a special affection for him, from childhood to adulthood.”
“I always hoped the Eldest Young Master could fulfill my son’s wishes. But I didn’t anticipate how growing environnts really can change a person, making them unlike their original selves.”
The housekeeper looked up at the sky. The Capital City’s sky wasn’t very clear—looking up at night, few stars could be seen, and tonight only a solitary bright moon hung in the sky, exuding a touch of haze.
“He acts recklessly, gets into fights at school, flaunts his identity as the Yuwen Family heir everywhere. Although all these things, Old Master knows well, but due to his health issues and the Old Master’s indulgence, he always turns a blind eye, leading to today’s situation.”
The living heart within Yuwen Kangli was a symbol of his son still being alive, yet ironically, Yuwen Kangli shattered this hope.
“Mr. Chu, do you think we can overthrow Yuwen Kangshi?”
The housekeeper asked worriedly.
He knew well how cunning Yuwen Kangshi was; this person has been patient for more than twenty years, keeping up a dual fa??ade, even having a beastly nature—imagine how deep his disguise and his scheming must be.
Chu Ge looked up at him, then gently shook his head, “Since I promised to help you deal with Yuwen Kangshi, I will go all out. But regarding Yuwen Kangshi, I’m not particularly familiar, so if the housekeeper now has ti, perhaps you could tell
more stories about him.”
The housekeeper thought about it, having encountered Yuwen Kangshi only after he moved into the Old Mansion, his understanding of him mostly ca from others.
Truthfully, any knowledge about him was like anyone else—heard from the mouths of others.
“From a young age, the second young master was different from the Eldest Young Master. The Eldest Young Master was brash, while the second young master was stable and reserved, possessing a maturity unfit for his age. Many thought it was rely introversion, but eventually it was clear; he wasn’t just introverted but understood much more than other kids.”
The housekeeper vividly rembered Yuwen Kangshi’s academic performance—it could be regarded as a positive example to follow.
Even teachers frequently used his assignnts as material to lecture other students, at school he was the epito of a ‘three excellence’ student; if there were awards, definitely one included him.
He actively participated in various competitions on behalf of the school.
“Speaking of the second young master’s accomplishnts from childhood to adulthood, those tales would take three days and nights to tell.”
Chu Ge listened to the housekeeper’s stories, all praises from the start, feeling puzzled, “Hasn’t Yuwen Kangshi done anything bad?”
“Bad things??” The housekeeper was stunned, thought hard, then shook his head, “It seems not, I’ve never heard others ntion any misconduct of his, rather…”
He deeply sighed, “It’s the Eldest Young Master’s faults, that truly take three days and nights to recount—second young master is a role model, while the Eldest Young Master is a negative example.”
Chu Ge looked up at the housekeeper, puzzled at the aning behind his words.
“They are extres; to call them brothers—honestly, no one believes it.”
“They’re blood-related brothers?”
“What do you an?” The housekeeper was stunned, puzzled.
“The second young master was born to the Old Master’s second son, while the Eldest Young Master was born to the eldest son.”
Chu Ge felt a little confused, “Shouldn’t inheritance go through their fathers? Why is it skipped a generation?”
As he understood, control of the Yuwen Family was still in the Old Master’s hands, so according to his thinking, it seed the Old Master’s sons were sowhat irrelevant?
Picking up on Chu Ge’s confusion, the housekeeper patiently explained: “Mr. Chu, speaking honestly, the Old Master’s sons are all over forty now. In the Old Master’s view, he believes young people deserve opportunities, which is why he lets the younger generation inherit.”
Chu Ge nodded in sudden understanding, “It seems the Old Master does value the developnt of newcors.”
The housekeeper responded, then chuckled, “Indeed, though setting aside the second young master’s character, among the Yuwen children’s generation, he’s the most outstanding—even the Old Master constantly praises him. But… sigh, fate is cruel.”
“He’s tried to take your life, yet I heard you haven’t got a grudge against him?”
Chu Ge curiously looked at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper paused, then lightly shook his head, “What good does holding a grudge do? I’m alive now, the Eldest Young Master is still in prison; the situation is unclear—so what use is it to hold a grudge?”
